Decanted for 3-4 hours, clean wine with slight browning on the edges, leather and blackberry on the nose. Soft tannins with a subtle acidity giving very good balance. Hint of spice around notes of blackberry and cedar. Nice finish although not overly long. Pleasantly surprised at how this wine held up after so many years, enjoyed with rib eye steak. A thoroughly enjoyable wine.

Tawny raisins, cherry and licorice on the nose. Fine tannins with fruit and spice. Longish finish. Overall very original and enjoyable.

MW Study Group Corvina Overview (Ristorante Bacco, San Francisco, CA USA): Nose shows licorice and wet stones along with black fruits. On the palate there are soft and friendly tannins and a medium body with a nice finish. Tastes like an Italian pinot noir. Very good.
